Research questions (and related work)
How can Data Science, and to a larger extent Artificial Intelligence, support the complex decision-making problems arising from modern energy systems with a high share of renewables ?
see e.g.
How can we exploit the full potential of renewable generation at the local (i.e. consume energy where it is produced) and global (i.e. take advantage of the complementarity between different geographical areas with their own production mix and/or consumption habits) levels simultaneously ? In other words, how can we address the Global VS Micro Grid paradigm ?
see e.g.
How can we ensure that every citizen has access to an energy at its true and smallest cost ? In other words, how can we ensure that the citizen will benefit the most from the energy transition ?
see e.g.
How can we provide accurate physics-based modelling tools able to support the massive electrification of our society, and more particularly of our transportation system (railway, automotive, space, etc.), in line with the recent advances in power electronics ?
